Bed Bath & Beyond Looks for Double Digit Growth in Earnings
http://goo.gl/hWl6v

It's always nice when a store you like to shop in becomes a success. Bed Bath and Beyond (BBBY) is that kind of store. I'm a kitchen gadget freak, so I love this store. I try not to be an impulse shopper, but as I wander the store I sometimes find bargains I didn't expect and can't pass up. Today I can't pass up the stock. Same store sales are up 7% year over year. They are on target to add 40 new stores this year and another 40 to 50 next year. Margin squeezes have been offset by savings in SG&A so I think this looks like a well managed company. The price is on a roll.
